I'd be highly surprised if Kendricks is there, that late, in the third round.

Streeter doesn't have good measurables, but there is better value in the fourth round...

Now I like Wolfe, alot; his size is prototypical of a 4-3 defensive lineman; though I think he could probably come off the board as early as the third round, late, where the Saints are currently slotted to draft...

Brooks in the sixth is an intriguing option; be interesting to see what he could bring and how he could develop with such limited playing time...

Hicks washed out of LSU; like Brooks, limited playing time in college because of high level of talent; great size, measurables...

Stephenson shouldn't be there in the 7th rounjd...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

nice work JP lets talk football

I think with Lofton, Chamberlain and now Hawthorne we're pretty much set at linebacker. Defensive Tackle and and cornerback are pretty thin at the moment. I know we have Tom Johnson, Mitch King, etc. at DT but Ellis only has one more year left on his rookie contract I think so we have to beef up the pass-rushing DT spot.

What am I missing here when some seem to think Kendricks makes it past the early 2nd round?

jeanpierre

Will we get any of our draft picks back with the appeal?

Does Payton geaux to New York to fall on his sword and ask Herr Goodell not to punish Benson and his poor loyal Saints consumers?

I'd love to see the Saints select Derek Wolfe DT/DE out of Cincinati in the 5th if he's there. Reminds me of Bryan Young (high motor) and played DE, DT and NT while in college

FinSaint

Yeah, I agree, he has been my favorite for the DT pick from the start of the mock drafts - a DT/DE hybrid who has great upper body strength and ability, but he needs to work on his lower body if he is to become successful in the NFL.

Getting him in the 5th would be great, but I'd settle for getting him in the 4th - he might even be gone off the board as early as when the Saints pick in the 3rd round, depending on how he has been evaluated by teams with DT needs.

I really, really like this kid. That said, so do alot of other people. This guy's not making it to the 4th round, much less the 5th. If he's the guy we want, we're going to have to use our 3rd rounder to get him (if he's there at that time).

jeanpierre

Exactly - we'd have to trade someone like Ellis and a fourth to swap into the mid second round in the hopes of getting him...

Derek Wolfe, great call Ragin; but he's not lasting to the fifth...
